Cancer-stricken Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi is reportedly near death in Tripoli, even as Libyan rebels yesterday ruled out extraditing him back to Britain.

Megrahi is slipping in and out of a coma and being kept alive only with oxygen and an intravenous drip, relatives told The Guardian newspaper and Sky News — adding that looters had stolen all his medicine.

The news came as the rebels’ National Transitional Council nixed extradition for Megrahi, who was freed from a Scottish prison two years ago after doctors claimed he had just three months to live.

“We will not give any Libyan citizen to the west,” said NTC official Mohammed al-Alagi.

Megrahi is the only person convicted in the December 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which killed 270.
